- Description:
- Abstract: Translation of a letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Tabreez [Tabriz], to Abbas Mirza [Crown Prince of Persia, ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār], of 12 November 1827. The letter concerns negotiations for peace in the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828]. Macdonald Kinneir exhorts Abbas Mirza to attend the planned meeting with General Paskewitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia], indicating that the meeting should not be delayed any longer, and giving his assurances that it will be conducted with respect and propriety. He also indicates that the approach of a detachment of Russian troops, which may have 'weakened' Abbas Mirza’s ‘confidence’, had been undertaken to ensure him an ‘honourable and respectful’ reception.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 8, in Macdonald Kinneir’s dispatch No. 75 to the Chief Secretary to the Government of India, George Swinton, of 9 December 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/107).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
